Apparently the black guy regularly attacked subway riders. He was a menace to society.

According to Newsweek, he had been arrested 42 times.
"A New York City police spokesperson told Newsweek that Neely's record has 42 prior arrests, dating between 2013 and 2021. They include four for alleged assault, while others involved accusations of transit fraud and criminal trespass. At the time of his death, Neely had one active warrant for an alleged assault in connection with a 2021 incident."

Of course, there will always be those who believe he was only put into a choke-hold because someone didn't like that this guy was black. It's a weak argument, but the repetition of it seems to make some people think it's the best argument to label any incident like this as race-related.

"In 2021, Neely socked a 67-year-old woman as she exited the Bowery station in the East Village in Lower Manhattan. The woman sustained a broken nose, a fractured orbital bone"

"In June 2019, Neely attacked Filemon Castillo Baltazar, 68, on the platform of the W. 4th St. Station in Greenwich Village"

One month prior, he hit a man so hard in the face that he broke his nose on the platform of the Broadway-Lafayette station – the same subway stop where he died four years later.

...Hopefully the "white guy" gets a very light sentence. Like 3 months probation. Tops.
I don’t believe those claims.

Why not? Just because it's a Fox News article? How about Newsweek?

A New York City police spokesperson told Newsweek that Neely's record has 42 prior arrests, dating between 2013 and 2021. They include four for alleged assault, while others involved accusations of transit fraud and criminal trespass. At the time of his death, Neely had one active warrant for an alleged assault in connection with a 2021 incident.

Many of Neely's arrests were for alleged violations of local law, the spokesperson said, and involved lower-level offenses such as having an open container of alcohol in public.

Those are just the ones we know about. Who knows how many other countless people he beat in the subway, that didn't get reported.
